Ipod Touch 2nd Generation stuck on Apple Logo loading up screen.

I have looked at many posts and nobody has found a solution which suits me.
My IPod gets stuck on the Apple Logo Loading screen when I turn the IPod on. Many say to reset the IPod, and so I do, and before long it dies, meaning it is unable to complete the reset.
When I plug it into the computer it dies not long after it stays on the logo screen, but when it is plugged into the wall it will just stay on the apple logo screen for ages. So could it be the IPod itself that isn't working?
ITunes cannot detect the IPod because the PC cannot detect it, and the reason the PC cannot detect it, is that the IPod has to be loaded and ready.
So I am running out of ideas, the nearest Apple Store is miles away.
I had it as a Christmas present this year, so its not that old.
The Apple Mobile Device service is fully working.
Any advice would be grateful, thanks!

You might see if any help is found here:

If not then I would take it in for repair.

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation goes from apple logo to low battery symbol when trying to turn it on.  Won't show up in itunes either.  Is it a dead battery? Help please.

    Hi, I have a 2nd Geration iPod touch.  The ipod will NOT go past the apple logo when turning on.  After about three minutes of waiting the screen will go blank.  So, I push the sleep/wake button and the low battery symbol appears, indicating that the ipod is being charged.  After about three minutes the ipod goes to sleep.  Wake up and the red battery shows up again but this time the apple logo appears after about three minutes and stays on for 5 minutes before going to sleep again.  When you wake it up it is on the red battery again. and the process repeats. The battery symbol never increases from the low mark.(no matter how long I charge it.)  It also gets a little bit hot after a while.  The ipod will NOT show up in iTunes either.  Please help thank you.

  • IPod touch 5th generation (replacement from Apple Store) - yellow tinted screen

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation replacement from the Apple Store, and the display is slightly yellow compared to "new" or floor models. There are also some areas where the yellowing is more obvious than others. Is it possible to get this replaced at an Apple Store?
    I have read other posts where the yellow tint goes away within a week or so. I have had this problem for months.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on apple reboot screen

    Hopefully someone can help... For the past 2 days, my touch has been stuck on the black screen with a white apple on it (the reboot screen). Approximately every 15 mins or so, the screen flashes to white as if it is trying to open something, flashes to black, and then the apple screen re-appears. Prior to this problem, I had downloaded some ebooks from the Barnes & Noble EReader App. I have tried holding down the wake/sleep key at the same time as the menu key. This will turn it off, but when I turn it back on, same problem. I have connected it to my computer via USB and it hasn't made a difference. I have tried connecting it to the computer, holding down the wake/sleep key at the same time as the menu key until I get a black screen and then continuing to hold both until the reboot screen appears again. I have tried this several times and nothing has changed on my ipod. When my touch is connected to the computer, occasionally my itunes will recognize it and synch, but then it disconnects itself. I can get it to be recognized as an ipod on my itunes if I hold both the sleep/wake and home buttons until the screen goes black and the apple re-appears where I release the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the menu button in order to get the restore settings, but only gives me the option to restore it to factory settings, which I don't want to do since I will lose everything on my touch. I have read that putting it into SSH would have been helpful, but I can't get into my settings to change it. Is there anything I can possibly do to save my current contents without having to totally reset it?

    This exact same thing happened to me today and I cannot reset either. Don't want to restore to factory as I keep my mileage on my device and will lost it and not get paid. HElp.

  • IPod touch 4g is stuck on apple logo

    I tried turning it on like i always do every afternoon after it being off all night and morning but then it became stuck on the apple logo and has been for about 30 minutes now. I know to fix this you have to hold down both the power and home button at the same time so it can restore but the problem is my home button is broken and does not work anymore. Is there another way to fix this? Like if i just leave it alone for however long it will eventually start working again? Or am I just screwed with no other way and being out of an ipod now?

  • IPod Touch 2nd Generation stuck in recovery mode?

    So I cleaned my iPod screen recently with just little water and a tissue. The screen then kept turning on and off, as if somebody was hitting the lock button repeatedly. I didn't take it seriously and I pushed the lock button myself to try and stop the spastic screen. I left it sitting on my desk for a while, when I come back, it was completely off and would not turn back on.
    After time it got better and was able to show me the Apple logo for a couple seconds, then turn off by itself again. Then it was able to display the "Connect to iTunes" picture, so I did and iTunes recognizes it just fine, but the name is reset to "iPod". When I do the restore, it completes it fully and restarts. After it restarts it still shows me the recovery message on iTunes informing me I still can't use it until it is restored. This loop just continues. It's been about 24 hours so far.
    Could it really be some sort of water damage? I've cleaned it off before and this never happened. Maybe I should put it in rice?
    Help would be tremendously appreciated.
